BTRS smashes £3m fundraising target!

Wed 11 July

Thanks to the combined power of a number of Yorkshire fundraisers BTRS has smashed its £3m fundraising target!

BTRS is thrilled to share that it has smashed its £3m fundraising target!

The combined power of a number of fantastic Yorkshire fundraisers and events helped BTRS hit this milestone goal. From Alison Richardson, the marathon running reverend, and the fantastic Yorkshire and Humber Police procurement team who walked 30 miles for Molly, to Matt Hodkinson who cycled 90 miles from Liverpool to Leeds in memory of his mum - every single one of our summer fundraisers helped BTRS reach our target.

The Headingley-based charity has been supporting brain tumour research and patients across Yorkshire for 15 years. To celebrate this monumental milestone, we have produced a video thanking all the people who contributed to the £3m total.

Rachel Finlay, BTRS charity manager said: "We are over the moon to have reached our £3m fundraising target. From patient support to funding research in our brain tumour lab at Leeds Institute of Molecular Medicine, we are really proud of what we've achieved since we were founded in 2003."

She continues: "We hope we continue to inspire people to fundraise for brain tumour research and would love to see lots of Yorkshire people sharing and liking our video to show their support for a cause dedicated to the local area. Here's to the next million!"
